Full Description
The remains comprise two buildings set to form a T, with a small circular structure immediately to the east, and a horse-mill to north. The longer building, which forms the bar of the T, is of two periods, the earlier being a lime-mortared cottage at the east end. A horse-mill is terraced into the slope behind the range added to cottage; the central mounting and the hole for the axle are well-preserved.
